Winter can often feel dark, extra long, and extra cold, which is why we love hygge so much! Hygge is the Danish art of achieving a state of being truly cozy throughout your entire mind, body, and soul. It’s a Danish tradition of embracing all the warm, fuzzy feelings of the season through simple pleasures, everyday joys, and connections with loved ones. During the holidays and winter months, it’s all about soft throws, warm drinks, candlelight, sharing meals with loved ones, and of course, admiring fresh flowers to keep things feeling alive. Florals in bold reds, snowy whites, and lush greens bring the outside in, but without the chill. Whether you’re entertaining or just nesting, hygge makes every day feel like a special occasion. Toblers Flowers, the premier florist in Kansas City, has everything you need to get that glow.
Savvy Steps to Create Hygge
Enjoy Mother Nature and Bring the Best of the Outside Indoors
One of the coziest parts of hygge is how it invites us to connect with the natural world, even in the heart of winter. Stepping outside for some fresh air feels like a hug for your nervous system, but when the chill gets a little too real, it’s time to bring those grounding vibes inside. Decorate with poinsettias, winter blooms, and sprigs of greenery to freshen up your space. Scatter pinecones and berries for texture and a festive pop of color. It’s the perfect way to feel close to nature, without freezing your fingers.
Turn Your Home Into a Comfortable, Cozy Environment
Cozy season is officially here, and your home deserves all the hygge vibes. Pull out the softest blankets, light your favorite candle, and queue up a mellow playlist. Pull out all your holiday decorations, whether they’re brand new and trendy or have been passed down through generations! Then add some floral magic with winter white hydrangeas, bold red roses, soft anemones, and festive poinsettias. Clearing away clutter and adding a few natural elements goes a long way. Before you know it, your home will be your favorite place to be (and your go-to coffee shop may start to miss you).
Spend Time and Be Present With Loved Ones
Not many people will remember the wrapping paper, but they certainly will remember the way it felt to be together. The holidays are all about slowing down and sharing time with your people, whether you’re playing board games by the fireplace or catching up over cocoa. It’s truly a time for presence over presents! Add a festive floral arrangement to set the scene, or send blooms to loved ones across the miles when you can’t be together in person. This is hygge at its core —simple, warm, and connected.
Enjoy Festive Treats & Favorite Holiday Meals
When hygge meets the holidays, it tastes like spiced tea, fresh-baked cookies, buttery pie crust, and honey ham. These comforting flavors are part of the season’s magic as they usually only come around once a year and are lovingly prepared by friends, neighbors, and loved ones. Send a little joy by gifting sweet treats, or deck your own table with a centerpiece that brings the wow, and invite everyone over to share a delicious meal together.
Indulge in a Relaxing Hobby
Hygge reminds us that slowing down is sacred and absolutely necessary. It’s found in quiet routines, solo moments, and the joy of doing something purely for yourself. Whether you’re writing in your journal, reading with a cup of tea, or revisiting an old hobby like crocheting or doing puzzles, spend the day doing what warms your heart and lights your soul. Just like buying yourself flowers, these moments of self-care bring hygge, a calm energy, and a reminder that you deserve softness, always.
At Toblers Flowers, we’re all about making your holidays feel as good as they look. With fresh flowers, a touch of sparkle, and a whole lot of heart, we’re here to help you embrace hygge in the most beautiful way.
